The man with the creative insight
Labors hard and long into the night
Seeking answers to questions brought
With paper, pen and reasonable thought
He must find answers before dawn breaks
The problem, so vital,He makes no mistakes

If not resolved, it will mean the end of days
By dawn find an answer to survive
For there is a chance to keep alive
To change the sky and save the day
Or endure the calamity on its way
Page after page find answers none
Coffee more coffee It must be done
Befuddled and blank as the hour draws near
He increases his effort with mounting fear
Dawn breaks and the world awaits
To see if this man can change the fates
He offers a solution, he hopes will end
What could be the last day of foe or friend

serves no useful purpose.
Besides, you cannot

The irrational parts of me
are screaming,
laughing,
because to them,
I've screwed up, again...
And
I look around and try to see
Where I am going or what I should be
It seems that everywhere I look
I am looking at an empty
